- DE 20 2010 004 931 U1 likewise proposes an edge strip made of thermoplastic material which is intended to have a multilayer, coextruded structure which, on the one hand, should comprise a melt layer which flows easily in the melt state and, on the other hand, a coextruded upper layer, where appropriate between the top layer and the melt layer a separating intermediate layer is to be provided in order to be able to use incompatible polymers which can not be combined by coextrusion for the upper layer and the melt layer.

- a temperature is only slightly above the lower edge or the beginning of the softening temperature range sufficient to liquefy the edge band layer to be joined sufficiently.
- the prefabrication of the plastic edge is significantly simplified by the at least approximately homogenous material distribution without layer formation, warping of the plastic edge during processing is avoided, the dimensional stability after welding is improved and curvature or even delamination of the edge strip in the welded state is prevented.
- the material distribution can in this case actually be formed entirely homogeneously and uniformly over the cross section, but may also contain partial unequal distributions in the sense of randomly arising irregularities following no layered arrangement, which, however, when considered as a whole, become uniform again.
- the plastic edge is free of coextruded layer formation and has over the cross section and also over the length of the edge band substantially constant thermal expansion coefficient, so that sets no distortion during heating and buckling or delamination of the edge band can not occur.
- the abovementioned viscosity reducer and, if appropriate, further additives are distributed uniformly over the entire edge cross-section into the surface. material in order to avoid variances in the thermal expansion coefficient, color inequalities or other problems associated with a layered structuring.
- the uniform distribution of said viscosity reducer is in itself contradictory at first sight, since the viscosity reducer is thereby also present in layers and regions of the plastic edge, which are currently not to be melted.
- the energy input of the plastic edge can be kept so low be that the melt liquefying effect of the viscosity reducer occurs only in the desired range and the non-melted part of the plastic edge remains sufficiently hard even without special training this layer.

- a thermoplastic material with polar and / or non-polar shares be chosen in molecular structure.
- thermoplastic base materials having reactive molecular groups it is also possible to use thermoplastic base materials having reactive molecular groups in order to achieve ionic bonds to the panel body as well.

- thermoplastic elastomer having a melting point in the range of 80 ° C to 140 ° C, preferably about 100 ° C to 130 ° C may be added, so that the thermoplastic elastomer is already liquefied, when to be liquefied during the melting Edge layer, the melting range of the base material is achieved.
- waxes and thermoplastic elastomers it is also possible to use other materials which improve the melt flow, for example a material comprising OH groups and / or paraffinic hydrocarbon oils and / or polypropylene, polybutene or polyisoprene oligomers.
- the or the viscosity reducer has a weight fraction in the range of 1 -50 weight percent, preferably 5-30 weight percent, in particular about 5-20 weight percent based on the total amount of the plastic edge material. If the viscosity reducer added in too low amounts, in particular smaller than the amounts mentioned, the desired improvement of the melt flow does not occur at a fairly short time welding with low temperatures above the lower edge of the melting range of the base material. If conversely too much viscosity reducer, in particular greater than the stated amounts, is added, unwanted softening of the non-meltable edge portions may occur, especially if the viscosity reducer has a significantly lower melting range than the base material.
- the viscosity reducer is designed or selected such that the melting point of the viscosity reducer by at least 10 Kelvin lower than the melting range of the base material, wherein the melting point of the viscosity reducer may advantageously be in the range of 60% to 90% of the lower limit of the softening temperature range of the thermoplastic base material (in degrees Kelvin).

- the plastic edge 1 with its width B can project beyond the thickness of the panel body 3, wherein after joining, the plastic edge can be trimmed, milled off or otherwise reworked to match the width of the plastic edge to the thickness of the panel body.
- the plastic edge 1 consists of a thermoplastic base material, in particular polypropylene, and further additives, which can be mixed in the way of compounding with said base material to form a polymer alloy. All additives are advantageously at least approximately evenly distributed over the cross section and the length of the plastic edge 1 uniformly in the base material, so that there is a total of at least approximately homogeneous edge structure with respect to material composition.
- the edge may be extruded in a single layer.
- absorber particles in the manner described in the introduction and at least one viscosity reducer in the manner and quantity described above and, if appropriate, further additives such as fillers, dyes or pigments may be added as additives 5.
- further additives such as fillers, dyes or pigments
- a polar polyethylene wax having fine or shorter chain lengths and optionally additionally a non-polar polyolefin wax may be added as the viscosity reducer.
- the hardness of the wax or the plastic can be determined or influenced.
- further polar and nonpolar portions may be added.
- OH-containing materials may also be added be to achieve a good binding effect to the celluloses of the wood material.
- the plastic edge 1 is preferably supplied at an acute angle to the plastic edge to be provided edge of the panel body 3 and pressed by a pressing tool 6, which may for example comprise a press roller 7 against the panel body 3.
- a pressing tool 6 which may for example comprise a press roller 7 against the panel body 3.
- the panel body 3 and the plastic edge to be joined 1 in the longitudinal direction of the plastic edge to be joined 1 on the pressing tool 6 according to the arrow 8 are moved past.
- the corresponding relative movement can also be achieved by moving the pressing tool 6 along the plastic edge 1 and along the panel body 3, for example at a machining center for welded or rounded panel corpuses.
- the panel body 3 facing surface of the plastic edge 1 is acted upon by a laser beam 4, which is directed substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the edge to be coated of the panel body 3 on the acute-angled supplied plastic edge 1 ,
- the angle of attack 9 of the laser beam 4 to the surface to be acted upon the plastic edge 1 acute angle preferably in the range of 5 ° to 60 °, preferably 10 ° to 45 °.
- the laser beam 4 is directed directly to the portion of the plastic edge 1, which lies directly in front of the joint 10 and is pressed immediately after the laser application against the panel body 3.
- the laser beam 4 is here oscillating, in particular transversely to the longitudinal direction of the plastic edge 1 oscillating, but possibly also parallel to the longitudinal direction of the plastic edge guided linearly over the surface to be melted, wherein by means of the laser beam 4, the whole or even a part of the against the Panel body to be pressed surface of the plastic edge 1 can be melted.
- the laser beam can be generated in various ways, for example, a diode laser, a CO 2 laser, an ND-YAG laser, a filament laser or similar radiation sources can be used, whereby a connection can be provided by means of gas or plasma jet.
- the laser beam can basically be set up with different powers, with different beam diameters, with different oscillation paths and with different oscillation speeds.
